  • Oh no! And just when I finally got around to setting up an XMPP server, too!

  • What’s your most controversial opinion?

    Jump

  • Yep.

    Grew up with a steadfast pacifist / non-violent mindset. "Use words, not weapons", "if you resort to violence, you've already lost",...

    The past 10 years have, well, awoken me, if you will. There's an entire class of people that needs to be tabula-rasa-ed for the benfit, no, for the survival of the remaining 99%.

    There literally is no other way.

  • The Magus Circle seems like a fantastic concept.

    Also I wonder how long it takes for someone to come up with a mod for it that forces/lets your practice kanji lol

    More scary than that is that the technologies are starting to keep up or exceed their expectations.

  • What old person thing do you do now that you wouldn't have guessed you'd do when you were younger?

    Jump

  • Your last point resonates with me deeply.

    It's also one of the main drivers for my frustration with / rage against the unfair economic system we live in. Working 10-20hrs/week should be the goal, so we can have most of our days to ourselves doing the things we love.

  • Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending 1st March 2026

  • Oof, OK. I have seen some S1 Andor deep-dives in the past which were genuinely good. Haven't watched anything on S2 yet, because I didn't like it.

  • Hab neulich auf der orangenen Seite (ja war ein Fehler drauf zu gehen) mit Faszination und Bestürzung mitgelesen, wie jemand ernsthaft vorgeschlagen hat, man könnte ja auch einfach die GPUs Wasserkühlen, den entstehenden Dampf nutzen, um eine Turbine anzutreiben um dadurch das Problem der Abwärme zu lösen, und so nebenbei noch mehr Strom für die GPUs bekommen.

    Mein Bruder in Christus, ich weiß nicht wo ich da anfangen soll.

  • Huh, not what I would have expected. I work for a company that has sadly shifted very AI-focused, with the exception of the actual engineers. Literally none of us likes or uses LLMs. Every other week someone from the C-suite reminds us that we are encouraged to use it, and get 300$ or some such in credits for AI tooling per month, and that they don't understand why it hasn't been claimed even once.

  • I'm so torn on this, because IN THEORY the argument "git blame should show the dunce who committed this" makes sense.

    But then why not add the AI as a co-committer.

    (All of this of course sidesteps the actual question, "why the fuck are you allowing AI contributions in the first place".)

  • Linux gamers: Do you ever occasionally shut down your PC?

  • My PC is either on (when I am actively sitting in front of it working) or off (all other times). With a cool down, of course, for coffee breaks or a quick lunch.

  • Trans people in Kansas are being ordered to surrender their drivers licenses

    Jump

  • I think the trans movement dug a deep hole for itself when it promoted transition surgery for minors.

    We didn't. Noone is even advocating for that. That is 100% a right-wing straw-man.

    That works both ways though, when an “F” on the license is for someone who is 6’3" with quarterback shoulders and five-o’clock shadow.

    Exactly, and now there's gonna be a ton of beardy, muscly men who are forced to revert to an "F" on their licenses.

  • Trans people in Kansas are being ordered to surrender their drivers licenses

    Jump

  • No, with the incorrect one.

  • Whats the flaw of the "Nothing to Hide" argument?

    Jump

  • The argument conflates privacy with secrecy. What we want is not to be allowed to "scheme nefariously in secret" but to enjoy ourselves without being watched, in private.

    Also: just knowing that you could be watched does change your behavior, even if you have absolutely nothing to hide.

  • i unapologetically love male pits

    Jump

  • It absolutely is.

    There's also a lot of different variations of fetishes involving piss. For the "get pissed on / in / drink it" part of the fetish, I have a hunch that piss sits right on the boundary of gross/humiliating, but not actually harmful.

    Well.

    For me at least.
